Warning lights come on when there may be or is a
problem with one of your vehicle’s functions. As you
will see
in
the details on the next few pages, some
warning lights come
on
briefly when you start the
engine just
to
let you know they’re working. If
you
are
familiar with this section, you should
not
be alarmed
when this happens.
Gages can indicate when there may be or is a problem
with one of your vehicle’s functions. Often gages and
warning lights work together to let you know when
there’s a problem with your vehicle.
When one of the warning lights comes on and stays on
when you are driving, or when one
of
the gages shows
there may be a problem, check the section that tells you
what to do about it. Please follow this manual’s advice.
Waiting to do repairs can be costly
--
and even
dangerous.
So
please get to know your warning lights
and gages. They’re a big help.
Safety Belt Reminder Light
When the key is turned
to
RUN
or START, a tone will
come on for about eight seconds to remind people to
fasten their safety belts, unless the driver’s safety belt is
already buckled.
The safety belt light
will also come on and stay
on for about
20
seconds,
then it will flash for about
55
seconds.
If
the driver’s
belt is already buckled,
neither the tone nor the light
will come on.
Air Bag Readiness Light
There is an air bag readiness light on the instrument
panel, which shows AIR BAG. The system checks the
air bag’s electrical system for malfunctions. The light
tells you if there is an electrical problem. The system
check includes the air bag sensors, the air bag module,
the wiring and the diagnostic module. For more
information on the air bag system, see “Air Bag” in
the Index.
